Felt like Hawks were playing in a bit of shock after 3rd period. Sneaked out of 1st OT alive. Now round 2. Whew :S 10:34:31 PM June 08, 2013 from Twitter for Android

Cubs 2012 Unsung Hero

By bullpenbrian - October 10, 2012 - 12:35 pm 2 comments.

-David DeJesus: .262/.350/.403, .753 OPS.

All-around professional, quality at-bats, terrific defense, durable, team leader.

He’s been the Cubs’ best leadoff man since Juan Pierre in 2006 while leading the team in OBP (.350), finished second in triples (8), third in doubles (28) and fourth in hits (133).

There’s not a better player for the youthful Cubs players to look up to than DeJesus. He plays the game the right way–every day. It’s a blessing the 33-year-old returns for a second season on the North Side, even if he only lasts to the July 31 trade deadline next year.

Honorable mention: Shawn Camp (3-6, 3.59), 77.2 IP, 1.29 WHIP and tied for league lead with 80 appearances.
